Missing from that list, Trump? It’s not like he cares about conflicts of interest.

Rename it Tric Troc Truth!

The entire rest of the world has a bitter snigger about the US losing its shit over a social media company having unsavoury links and unsafe practices with people’s private information.

Well, this is obviously why she thinks California should do it. Can’t have people being educated proper.

…especially to privacy advocates as well as political conservatives, who have traditionally opposed mass data consolidation by the federal government.

I wonder how many of those won’t-cooperate-with-the-census-taker types* voted for Trump.

In the voice of Edward G. Robinson:
“Mwah, where’s your smaller government nooooow?”

*e.g. “there are 5 people living here & that’s all you’re getting.” IIRC, Michelle Bachmann was one of them.

:thinking: How would they manage that? Creative accounting with funds already received would be one thing, but changing rates or cutting off funding for specific states is…something else. I’m curious to see what methods California might try to slow or stop payments that aren’t already directly going from taxpayers to the IRS. Looks like other states are pushing back, too:
